Spiritual Food, As is Milk to a Baby Have you ever tasted baby food? Its terrible bland, but babies have no other choice without teeth. They certainly cant eat a nice, juicy steak! Sadly, some Christians are content with spiritual baby food. they are happy to go over and over the simple truths of the Scriptures and dont move beyond the basics of the gospel, Hebrew 6: 1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again of the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on the hands, and of resurrect- tion of the dead, and of eternal judg- ment. By not sinking their teeth into deeper truths and more difficult Bible passages, they lack biblical understanding and convictions to make right choices, Hebrew 5: 13 For every one that useth milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. They may have been Christians for many years, but their spiritual abilities remain underdeveloped. They remain babies. As children grow physically, they learn to eat solid food that gives them strength and vitality. In the same way, believers need to take on the res- ponsibility to feed themselves on solid spiritual food. To fail to do this is to remain spiritually weak and undernourished. You can roughly tell the physical age of people by how they look. Their spiritual age is revealed by their ability to distinguish good from evil and by their personal character thats shown day by day. Is this spiritual discernment evident in your life? Or are you still on spirit- ual baby food?
